Chickasaw National Recreation Area

Make your way to the town of Sulphur in South Central Oklahoma and visit Oklahoma’s oldest National Park, Chickasaw National Recreation Area. Comprised of two districts, The Platt Historic District and the Lake of the Arbuckles, visitors of Chickasaw are in for some fun in the sun, in the water, and in the great outdoors. Pack your bathing suit and sunblock and get ready for an outdoor adventure in the Midwest.  The Travertine Nature Center is a perfect place to reconnect with Mother Nature and learn more about the park through the displays, exhibits, and educational programs. Get on your hiking boots for a light climb and bring your camera for picture-perfect photo opps. Lake of the Arbuckles invites visitors to enjoy the outdoors by having fun on the lake and mineral waters, so bring your fishing rod to catch something local. Boating, water-skiing, and swimming in what locals call “Little Niagara,” are popular OK pastimes all year long.
